Struggling Ever Onwards–Again. Still.

The other day I was pondering (probably to avoid working on something, like how I’m posting this now to avoid something I’m supposed to be doing.) Am I struggling more these past few years, or am I just more aware of the struggle? I have all these goals, which I’m not sure have led to […]

Slow Is Fine (LoDOOM#4)

Today’s is not a long list of accomplishments, but some jobs just take longer. This is the fence in my back yard. The back wall and the west wall are 6 foot cement block walls, but this one has only a chain link fence between us and our (perfectly nice) neighbors. I didn’t care for

Is it perfectionism paralyzing me? I don’t usually think of myself as a perfectionist, but maybe that’s the problem I’m having. Maybe I’m fighting a (mild, but serious for me) bout of depression. Maybe procrastination is actually a disease, and I’ve got it. Whatever, but I’ve been meaning to write a blog post for a while.
